SUBCHAPTER I--RESEARCH AND RELATED PROGRAMS
Sec. 1266. Hudson River reclamation demonstration project
(a) The Administrator is authorized to enter into contracts and
other agreements with the State of New York to carry out a project to
demonstrate methods for the selective removal of polychlorinated
biphenyls contaminating bottom sediments of the Hudson River, treating
such sediments as required, burying such sediments in secure landfills,
and installing monitoring systems for such landfills. Such demonstration
project shall be for the purpose of determining the feasibility of
indefinite storage in secure landfills of toxic substances and of
ascertaining the improvement of the rate of recovery of a toxic
contaminated national waterway. No pollutants removed pursuant to this
paragraph shall be placed in any landfill unless the Administrator first
determines that disposal of the pollutants in such landfill would
provide a higher standard of protection of the public health, safety,
and welfare than disposal of such pollutants by any other method
including, but not limited to, incineration or a chemical destruction
process.
(b) The Administrator is authorized to make grants to the State of
New York to carry out this section from funds allotted to such State
under section 1285(a) of this title, except that the amount of any such
grant shall be equal to 75 per centum of the cost of the project and
such grant shall be made on condition that non-Federal sources provide
the remainder of the cost of such project. The authority of this section
shall be available until September 30, 1983. Funds allotted to the State
of New York under section 1285(a) of this title shall be available under
this subsection only to the extent that funds are not available, as
determined by the Administrator, to the State of New York for the work
authorized by this section under section 1265 or 1321 of this title or a
comprehensive hazardous substance response and clean up fund. Any funds
used under the authority of this subsection shall be deducted from any
estimate of the needs of the State of New York prepared under section
1375(b) of this title. The Administrator may not obligate or expend more
than $20,000,000 to carry out this section.
